I don't so much care if it's a Chinese knock off or a real deal Bosch BMP, but if you're interested in measurements that are better than vague vibes, the difference between a cheap poopoo glass thermistor hooked up to the noisiest 8-bit ADC (let's be real about what's actually in there), sets a real limit on anything that device will ever be capable of, especially if you have more than one. If a device has got a real deal BMP581 (yes that's a pressure+temp sensor, but let's roll with it) that's a whole other ballgame, and yeah they could have messed up the housing or it could brown out, have bad lower power characteristics, or bad firmware, but that BOM difference says a lot about what the engineer who designed it probably thought the device should be capable of.
